David L. Ransel explores the intersections of women’s history and family history through his personal academic journey, highlighting the significance of women’s roles in historical contexts, particularly within Russian society. He discusses his initial foray into women’s history via the study of charitable institutions founded by Empress Catherine II, which served as a catalyst for broader examinations of women’s influence, and the development of a scholarly community that began addressing women’s experiences in imperial Russia.
